Romies is described as a stylish, vibey spot in Old Montreal with a beautiful terrace that many reviews say is perfect for dates or celebrations. The service is often praised for being friendly and attentive, though a few experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, especially on busy nights. The food is generally regarded as delicious and well presented, with frequent highlights including fried zucchini, pasta alla zozzona, crudo, focaccia, rib eye, and a standout dessert scene featuring chocolate cake or blackout cake. Some readers feel the prices are high for the portions and value, and a number of dishes arrive not as hot as expected or can be a little heavy on richness. The ambiance, decor, and open kitchen vibe create a memorable experience that many say elevates the meal, though the noise level and crowds can be a downside for some. Across reviews, Romies is seen as a place with strong positives in food and atmosphere, and a willingness to return for the terrace, cocktails, and signature dishes, while the occasional critique centers on price, consistency and service during peak times.
We had our wedding at Romies with 72 guests & it was the most special night. It was super intimate.
We had our ceremony & cocktail hour in the courtyard, & our reception inside the restaurant. First off, the staff is 10/10 - service was incredible, the food was outstanding & all our friends & family said this was some of the best food they ever had. We had an open bar & family style dining. We had antipasti & focaccia to start, catalina salad & fried zucchini followed by pasta alla zozzana, rib eye, branzino as the mains, & fries + side veg. Finished off with the Black out cake which was out of this world, & our wedding cake. The food was never ending. Everyone was so well fed. We also had a midnight table!
Nick & his team were so organized. We mostly dealt with Franck & Camille & they were so accommodating + responsive. We got married last week & I wish we could have our wedding again this weekend lol.
Thank you, Romies ♥?

Busy yet chill vibes. Low lights atmosphere. They have bocci ball in the back, the toilets are outside of the restaurant which is a little odd but it works. Their drinks were good. Price point is high but the quality matches it. The rib eye steak was perfectly cooked & seasoned. The fries were made in house & tasty. The ceasar salad was okay. I would go with another options in the future, instead of salad.

I was hesitant about the menu, but I should not have doubted the team at Arthur's. Shrimp cocktail is nice, very refreshing. Beef tartare was fantastic - very good with its bedding of Russian salad. Apricot BBQ pork ribs were amazing & went really well with the Pfalz orange wine. Avoid the house pasta - it's fine but clearly just there to appease the picky eaters. We didn't have it, but I would recommend the pasta alle vongele instead as it looked delicious - big mound of it, good for sharing maybe.
Dining out is about more than just the food-it's about the people who bring the whole experience to life. Jeana embodies this perfectly. She doesn't just serve a table; she lights it up. With every smile, every thoughtful gesture, & every perfectly timed word, she transforms a simple meal into a lasting memory.
Jeana has a unique grace in the way she works: attentive but never intrusive, kind without pretense, & genuine in every interaction. It feels less like being served & more like being welcomed into a story where true hospitality shines at the center.
If the food nourishes the body, Jeana nourishes the soul. 🌿
Was served by the bartender Jeana (Hope I'm spelling it right!) she was absolutely incredible! I have a few allergies & she went above & beyond to ensure my meal was delicious & that we had a good time. I will definitely be back here when in MTL & recommend. Ps. The drinks were 🔥
La nourriture était très ordinaire pour le prix. Le service était lui aussi assez ordinaire. On dirait plutôt un pacini à 100$ par personne. On peut trouver beaucoup mieux à Montréal.
Nous nous sommes régalés tant pour les cocktails, que les plats & le vin. Joli cadre. Merci Adams au service pour ta sympathie & tes conseils. Seul bemol pour moi : la musique un peu trop forte.
We brought our work team of 15 to Romies & couldn't have asked for a better evening. The group menu was phenomenal-every dish cooked to absolute perfection & beautifully presented. Service was attentive without ever feeling rushed, & the staff made us feel completely at ease. Sitting out on the terrace in the heart of Montreal was the cherry on top. This place is truly a gem-already looking forward to coming back!

Worth the hype. First of all-my group was late haha & without a thought they held our table for us for 15 mins on a busy Wednesday night. So thank you for that kindness. We got the beef tartare & focaccia as starters. The tartare was good but different (came atop a bland potato salad) & the focaccia was delicious. Most of my group got their famous pasta & raved about it. The grilled branzino was an underrated yet excellent dish. & the burger. My gosh- out of this world. & comes with their house ceaser salad which was so yummy & had potato chips instead of croutons. Although the dressing wasn't anchovy-ee enough for my taste. We also got all 3 desserts & all were 10/10 but the chocolate cake & blueberry sundaes are a must!! All in all a great meal in a cool trendy atmosphere
I saw another review on here that perfectly summed up my experience, but in short; the food quality & taste doesn't justify the price, unfortunately.
The flavours of each main were overpowering yet underwhelming.
Service was okay overall but we had to wait a long time to order, to get our food & then to pay.
We were about to leave quite disappointed BUT the dessert made up for it in the end! Whoever is the dessert chef is needs a raise because WOW! I would come back solely for the dulce de leche & passionfruit sundae 🤤.

Je suis allée pour un anniversaire avec des amies & tout était parfait! Très bonne ambiance & service impeccable de Jeana, ses recommandations étaient excellentes. Je recommande fortement !!
Une soirée merveilleusement réussie pour la fête de mon amie!! La nourriture était délicieuse (un gros coup de coeur pour les desserts). Un immense merci à Jeana pour son service exceptionnel. Elle a vraiment contribué à rendre la soirée inoubliable.
Service très lent... Nous avons d'ailleurs commandé des frites que nous n'avons jamais reçues... Les prix sont un peu dispendieux par rapport aux portions. La terrasse est plutôt belle. J'y suis allé avec deux amies & personne ne compte y retourner.
